All the former soviet republics were at one time "in Europe" for all measures, as the USSR was wholly in Europe, for UN administration. So when the pieces left the USSR, the administration stayed the same. It's all arbitrary anyway, so a little blurring of the single continent of Eurasia doesn't hurt. It's all a single landmass, so should be a single continent. And any argument I've seen that the mountains separate it into a separate continent also works to have India be a separate continent, but those people don't like that application of their arguments, so I ignore their hypocrisy.
That's not how it's measured. Your ignorance knows no bounds. No new cases. Nobody getting it there means it's eliminated.
Nobody uses your measure, because it'd make it impossible for people to seek international treatment. Something that's common, and quite safe (even with the Ebola scare in the US, that was a few people who broke protocol making the scare larger than the risk).
The "savings" would imply difference in cost, and they address that the savings is in improvement, but don't specifically state the old number and the new number so you can do your own math. They also state that the "heating system" is cooling as well. Before they had a system to heat some areas while cooling others independently, so they paid twice for some control. The new system recovers heat, cooling those areas, and moves that heat to the other areas that need heat, so it'll lead to cost savings of some kind year-round, though obviously the savings will be highest when cold. But in Alaska, it's cold quite often.
They may have saved more moving to a natural gas system if that was an option.
The capital for that would have been higher, to make a personal gas-fired power plant. And the recurring cost would be higher as well, as gas isn't readily available in those quantities (Seward has no pipeline to places with it, and you'd have to bring it on a train from elsewhere in the state). Simpler and better (according to all involved) is using heat pumps. And in a large industrial complex, using CO2 instead of Freon (or the current replacement for it) is more efficient. Heat pump systems are common. There are billions of them, They installed a heat pump.
For some reason, the anti-environmentalists here want to make an issue of it not being a good thing to reduce energy use. Yeah, a heat pump system for a very large industrial complex is expensive, but the savings are also large.
I assumed when they said 'used' it was consumed or converted in some manner as well. Not the case.
Used means "utilized" more often than "consumed" (though it can be both, or either). You picked a very odd way to take the original statement, almost as if you wanted it to be wrong.
They didn't really go into much more detail but assuming no maintenance anybody building this without that grant is looking at about 4 years to recover their costs.
The cost to the ASLC was $118,360. Saving $15k per month, it has an ROI under 1 year. Why are you trying to make a good thing look as bad as possible?
Yes. The iocane powder scene from Princess Bride will always result in the computer picking the wrong gone, as the human will learn the pattern for which the computer would pick. The idea of tricking someone else would also require understanding tricking, to recognize the pattern when appling it, as well as when it happens.
Simply not true. The level of SJW has always been the same. But with more assholes like you labeling anyone who calls an asshole as an SJW (even if, or especially if true), the instances of accusations of SJWs by assholes has increased greatly. Use of the word has increased greatly, but not the people who are incorrectly called that by assholes.
So basically, unless you're nice to somebody and ask them easy questions, you're a troll. I guess I was never told that you weren't allowed to ask harsh questions in an interview.
Yes. When you deliberately pick abusive questions, you are a troll. How is that so hard to understand? It's one of the basic definitions of troll.
There are other people in that article observing it. You don't think that's odd?
It does sound odd. Are you implying that Slashdot abused the moderation system to that effect, or that the SJWs saved all their mod points in an SJW conspiracy, and used them all after the MRAs had already wasted theirs?
No, I don't remmeber that. And not remembering it, were the "hard" questions things like "Why did you stop raping children?" and other loaded questions where the question itself includes an accusation?
You don't use phone for too much processing. The wearable will do all of the video processing and most of the data analysis. Much like how phones work now. The phone doesn't do much more than communicate between the network and the wearable. If you can offload the processing to the phone, you can put it in the cloud, and that's where everything is headed anyway.
They should go to mechanic school. I've seen people take in a good car to the mechanic, and $2000 later, the car is worse than when it came in. Fixing it, regardless of whether it's broken is a normal thing.
TouchWiz sucks. Sense, ColorOS, and just about every other one out there, including "pure" Andriod, are better than TouchWiz. Nobody wants Samsung's restrictive app store. Deals with apps to run only on Samsung (and only through their App store), locking out side-loading of apps that would otherwise work.
And people would rather have a big battery with 2 hour life than a small battery with a 2 week run time. At least, that's how it looks from reading reviews.
The endgoal for battery life is 0 battery life, and chargers everywhere. A wireless charger everywhere. In the car, at home, at work, stores, for guests in offices, everywhere. You don't need to have a battery if it's powered everywhere, and for camping, you take a power pack.
They change them enough to be new. Smartphones have converged with PCs. I know people that create and give presentations on their phone, using their phone as a PC replacement. That it can be done doesn't make it a PC because most wouldn't do it.
Cheaper isn't new. The Raspberry Pi phone, with a $20 price tag for something usable would be an improvement, but wouldn' be "new". Battery life isn't useful. Wireless charging, faster charging (go google VOOC) and other improvements in availability will be the key. Nobody wants "longer battery life". They want it to just work.
And AR doesn't work on a phone. You won't hold your phone up, blocking your view to see through it. Your focal length is such that would be anoying. You'd need a wearable of some kind. and that'd be a new type of tech, not an improvement of phones. We have touched on wearables and AR, but we have a long way to go, and it'll be new/different, even if the features cross-tech, like phone calls from PCs and presentations from phones. There will always be coss, but the wearable/AP shouldn't be considered an extension of the phone.
Proof of the first is proof of the second. The 4 largest religions have the same god-like creator. Many of the "old" religions had the same structures, Odin/Zeus/Jupiter/Ra, and a pantheon under them. Revs in a sim? Upgrade from pantheistic structure to monotheistic. The popular types of religions are usually quite similar. Who "wins" is immaterial. When you can prove #1, then you can explore #2. Believing #2 without #1 is a mental illness. #1 without #2 is a real step to understanding the universe.
Plato's theory of forms predates Descartes by nearly 2000 years. And is a form of sim theory, but like Descartes, falls down because the concepts and langage didn't exist to describe it in modern terms.
So the moment someone posts a comment on a Journal Entry, the "owner" of the journal can never delete that JE? Leaving comments without links or context are a bigger no-no. The owner of the journal should be able to clear comments on it by deleting it and re-posting it. That's standard forum activity, and not a no-no. If you post comments and want them to live forever, post your own JE in response.
How, you come up with hypotheses that fit the data. Rather than presuming that religios people are all liars, why not come up with a theory that meets all the assertions? God is a programmer, and physics and such describes the in-game physics engine. It can unify more than it separates. Is that why you hate it? It's not used as a proof against God? You don't care about the truth, but you want to hate God? What did He ever do to you?
Yes, you know what I mean better than I do. nope. You are just a lying sack of shit. I clarified, and you refuse to listen, preferring to argue about something unrelated to reality. fuck off.
Yup, and if we actually had equal opportunity, people other than Paris Hilton and Donald Trump (both born ruper-rich) would have a chance. But giving people a chance isn't allowed. They have to earn it by being born rich and white.
A CAPD (Central Auditory Processing Disorder) hearing loss means that the mechanical system are generally intact, but that the information processing doesn't happen within the brain. IT's like having an audio processing system, and yanking the DSP out of it.
I describe it as "dyslexia of the ear." People understand dyslexia interferes with understanding visually, but doesn't interfere with vision at all. Most people with APD will pass a regular hearing test just fine, but still have trouble hearing some things.
But, a hearing aid can help. One that cuts out high and low frequencies, keeping just the human-voice range, will improve the hearing of an APD sufferer, as the extraneous inputs are pre-filtered, so as to lower the confusion in the brain in sorting out and processing the remaining sound.
Personally, if I had partial damage, I'm going to spend the money on the expensive hearing aides. If I have some function, there's no reason to cook it by amplifying the frequencies that are actually getting through, rather than those which are not.
Some of the cheap ones have all the features of the expensive ones, and do it as well or better than the expensive ones. They just haven't paid the big bucks for the certifications.

"When spouting off your mistaken and deceptive rants"
No, nothing hateful or biased in that question. As I said, the deliberately trolling questions were deliberately trolling.
And the second was accusations of elitism, without a question in there (other than, why are you an elitist).
Both of those questions were obvious trolls. Neither asked a question that would have resulted in an interesting answer.
Your complaint is "someone downmodded the obvious trolls" That makes you the troll.
No, I don't remmeber that. And not remembering it, were the "hard" questions things like "Why did you stop raping children?" and other loaded questions where the question itself includes an accusation?
Yes. Everyone should have the freedom of speech, except people you don't like. You like the KKK more than PCSJWs.
You don't use phone for too much processing. The wearable will do all of the video processing and most of the data analysis. Much like how phones work now.

The other side is the same, but saying "see no global warming" with no proof or evidence. Why the double standard?
And the religion is based in science. That your religion is against science doesn't mean everyone else's is as well.
